SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS
When the pressure at the control rises above the L404
setpoint, a circuit opens between the R-B terminals. During a
pressure fall, R-B will close at the setpoint pressure minus the
switch differential.
For example, if a controller is set to differential B (see Fig.11)
with a controller setpoint of A, R-B will open when the pressure
rises to A. Then during a pressure fall, the R-B terminals will
close when the pressure drops to C (A minus differential B).
For make on rise applications, the switch is wired to R-W
terminals. The R-W circuit will close on pressure rise to the
setpoint. R-W will open again on a pressure drop past the
switch differential.

Setpoint Adjustment

Turn the pressure adjusting screw on the top of the controller
(Fig. 12) to adjust the setpoint. Turn the differential adjusting
screw to the desired pressure difference between switch
opening and switch closing.
NOTE: When the main scale setting is at the lower end of the
operating range, the differential range will be less
than the differential setting by approximately 20
percent.
